  1. Re:Censorship isn't a violation of 1st Amendment on Facebook, Google, Twitter To Face US Lawmakers About Tech 'Censorship' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    As soon as they started deleting or hiding tweets, posts, etc, they became publishers.

  2. Re:I agree, change will come on Australia Passes Law To Punish Social Media Companies For Violent Posts (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It's already being done. Twitter, YouTube, etc already hide "objectional" or "conspiracy" content. YouTube also de-monetizes anyone who says the wrong things.

  3. Mass censorship incoming on Australia Passes Law To Punish Social Media Companies For Violent Posts (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The internet was a lot of fun, guys. Sadly, it's been taken over and you will only be allowed to view government-approved content in the future.

  4. Re:Think of the shareholders! on Are We Experiencing a Burnout Epidemic? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    https://www.reddit.com/r/law/c... for a great rundown.

  5. Think of the shareholders! on Are We Experiencing a Burnout Epidemic? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Implementing the vacations/more sick days/ etc would negatively affect stock values for shareholders. This is actually illegal for a corporation to do in the US, without providing concrete facts stating that it would lead to higher yields (good luck with that).

  6. That's a lot of power in one person's hands on Judge Recommends Import Ban On iPhones After Latest Apple Vs. Qualcomm Verdict (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's hard to believe one person could completely shut down a company like this. I'm hoping the judge isn't some 75 year old who doesn't even know how to turn on a computer.

  7. that's why I keep my passwords! on Severe Vulnerabilities Uncovered In Popular Password Managers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    That's why I keep my passwords on a sticky note on my monitor! Never trust the cloud!

  8. It was an investment by the Chinese government on Reddit Users Are the Least Valuable of Any Social Network (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Reddit got the investment, and now any post that gets too popular and is negative about the Chinese government gets removed from /r/all and /r/popular. It was proven quite quickly because several BIG posts about Tianamen Square were removed that day. Basically, reddit has become an arm of the Chinese propaganda department.

  9. What did CNN change it's name to? on Fake News Sites Are Changing Their Domain Name To Get Around Facebook Fact-Checkers (mashable.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    How will CNN and MSNBC get around this ban?

  10. Power plant shutdowns on Ask Slashdot: What Could Go Wrong In Tech That Hasn't Already Gone Wrong? · · Score: 1

    I fully expect all of our power supply plants to be shut down (or worse), as they have already admitted multiple times that they are extremely vulnerable to computer attacks. Maybe an enemy country will do it. Maybe some insane hackers or religious extremists will do it. Either way, it will result in mass chaos, after which, the State will clamp down even harder on personal freedoms.

  11. How to know if I'm affected? on US Judge Rejects Yahoo Data Breach Settlement (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there a way to know if I'm affected by the breach? I'm assuming I am, as I use Yahoo Mail.

  12. Re:I lost my job yesterday for a different reason on Only 25 Percent of Occupations In US Are At 'High Risk' For Losing Jobs From Automation, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    Don't. Just leave. Or better yet, "train" him to royally screw up.

  13. It's only ~37,500,000 people who will lose their jobs! /s

  14. Anything that the media bigwigs don't like (ie anything not Leftist) will now be censored. Thank you for your cooperation.

  15. Apple has largely abandoned it's computer customers. Everything they do is focused on the iPhone. Macs used to be the go-to for any kind of graphical artist. Now they can't even handle most graphics programs well. It's sad that they abandoned their core artist base to suit kids sitting on coffee shops, showing off their Mac accessory.

  16. IBM will own Gnome and systemd on IBM To Buy Red Hat, the Top Linux Distributor, For $34 Billion (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The guys directly responsible for Gnome and systemd will be IBM employees very shortly. This will be interesting.

  17. Re:You should just work with Apple instead on EU Regulators Fine Google Record $5 Billion in Android Case (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't know there were legal 3rd party iOS phone makers. Care to link some? If they aren't, I wouldn't be surprised when updates brick the phone.

  18. How great would it be if they had Straczynki write Eps 7 to 9? And didn't let that moron Kennedy fiddle with anything?

  19. Re:Seems like the right reasons to me on New Service Blocks EU Users So Companies Can Save Thousands on GDPR Compliance (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    The EU is a fascist state. Their bureacrats just don't wear military uniforms anymore.

  20. Have fun not being able to buy a ton of products or even visit many internet sites (likely including Slashdot). But at least your data will be safe!

  21. I really, really hope services you love and depend on drop the EU, and you are stuck without them. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about when it comes to regulations. You just want to support your fascist EU masters.

  22. Wages are stagnant, but we have no inflation, so no worries! Oh yeah, groceries have really gone up in price, but they don't count! Gas is lower than it was four years ago, but that was a historical high, and the current price is still high, but not record high, so that's ok!

  23. Beta testing on Ubuntu Linux 17.04 'Zesty Zapus' Final Beta Now Available For Download (betanews.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to alpha and beta test Ubuntu releases. It can be fun, especially if you have a spare computer with nothing critical on it. I did help find some issues back in the day, that got fixed before release. It felt good. If you have any skills, it can be a cool experience to try.

  24. Yep. Whoever decided that Firefox needed to be forever in Chrome's footsteps should be kicked out of all open source.

  25. Re:Told ya on Firefox Goes PulseAudio Only, Leaves ALSA Users With No Sound (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you mean Red Hat is cancer. They are doing their damnedest to force all other Linux distros to bow to their crap ideas.
